Problem of appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, intestinal intussusception or intestinal abscess or peptic ulcer, stone in the bile duct or the urinary tract are the common causes of severe pain in the abdomen. Haemorrhage can occur in such stages.

Ayurveda has classified vomiting as vataja, pittaja and kaphaja types depending on which dosha (humour) is predominant.
The digestive juice secreted by the stomach contains hydrochloric acid, pepsin and renin which digest the proteins and kill the germs. When the germs cause inflammation of the stomach, the condition is called gastritis, wherein vomiting is the main symptom. Vomiting is a protective mechanism of the body.
